A classic American pickup
Across a generation and a half, from 1947 to 1957, the entry-level Chevrolet pickup was the ½ ton 3100.
Colin and Shelley Pope of Kaponga, Taranaki, have owned their 1951 pickup for six years, after looking for something di erent to buy and seeing it for sale on Trade Me. “It came out of Arizona as a stock standard 3100 Pickup,” says Colin. “We drove it for 12 months, then made a decision to do a complete restoration. “It has air conditioning, power steering, Tremec t56 6 speed manual, digital instrumentation and electric windows.”
